ua Had To BE Civil.

A certain Detroit parvenu OF great
wealth has hanging in his drawing room
a large and hideous daub in oils which
some Shanghai dealer in Paris induced
him to buy. He is very fond OF taking Z
caller by the arm, leading him before the
canvas and saying:
Great picture that By Macaroni d
VermiceIli. you know. Paid 81, 900 for il
in Paris and got a great bargain. -

sometimes visits Detroit) says it's worth

A few days since this gentleman was
lunching at the Detroit club when the
cat came out of the bag. Some one said
=, old Centpercent says that yoU
have appraised that frightful nightmare
of his at $4,000. Is it true?"
The artist answered, snihngly: Il viii
tell you how that happened. He asked
me TO dinner one day, and after we left
the table took me To see the picture anC
told the usual story. Then, turning
abruptly, he asked:

THE FANCY CATTLE CRAZE.

1lIinoisaps Who Were Enthusiasts for
Blood and Pedigree-Their Losses.
Gen. Charles E. Lippinc0tt, who has
been appointed governor at the new sol
diers' Home at Quincy, is one of the
IIlinoisans who went broke on the Short
horn cattle craze. In 1870 there were
dozen great breeders of fancy cattle who
made from $3.50, 600 to $500, OOOin the bust
ness They lived high when the craze was
on; nonchalantly gave their checks for
$40, coo and sometimes $50, 900 for calves
with pedigrees, but which could be picked
up in the arms of strong man and car
ried off like any other veal. This was up
to 1874. In 1879 all these men were
broken financially. The cattle they had
paid thousands for sold for hundreds.
The calves which had cost half their
weight in gold wouldn't sell at all. The
whole fancy cattle bubble had burst W1tR
as little notice as that other historical
bubble, the famous tulip mania of HoI-
land.
A few IIIinoisans as far back as the sos
were bent on making this finer cattle
state tLan Kentucky. Ii it had not been
for these enthusiasts Illinois would not
be the second now III the rank Tor nne
bred cattle The state itself thirty years
ago appointed commission and empow-
cred it to go to England and select, pay for
and import to Springfield 100 OF the nnest
bred cattle that could he bought. This
herd of blooded stock with long ped1greeS
was sold at public auction at the capital
in 1859. After that every Illinois farmer
of means was unhappy until he had
either a full blooded or graded field or
Shorthorns. Ii he had hogs he wanted
? I3erkshires.
IIppincott left the state auditors Office
with about 5000 COO His were the days
If fees. He went into cattle raising and
had some great animals. For the twenty
first Duchess of Airdrie he paid 81, 800
when she was only six weeks old. For
the nineteenth Duke of Airdrie he paid
$40. 500. These were first cousins to the
duchess cow at American Mills, NY, for
which Lord Skelmersdale paid $46, OOO.
Iippincott went broke, of course.
Men VINO knew great deal more about
pedigrees than he were just as unfortu-
nate. w r. Duncan, of TOwanda, now
deceased, sunk a fortune of a quarter OF
q million dollqrs. J. II. Pickerell editor
now of The American Shorthorn Herd
Book, sunk his fortune of $500, 900 in the
same way William Stewart, OF Lee
county, did the same thing. SO did Gen.
Meredith, Of Indiana. There were about
a dozen splendid fellows, enthusiasts for
blood and pedigrees, to whom Illinois
owes millions of it's wealth, all OF whom
sunk their fortunes, as pioneers usually
do. There were J. Il. Kissengen and
Edward Hes. of Springfield. These men
raised the quality of cattle in this state a
cent a pound and increased the weight on
An average 200 pounds to the steer. How
much has that been worth to illinois,
Can anybody figure it?-Chicago Mail.

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.
What the Chairman OF the Republi-

New YORK, Sept 22.-Mr. B. F. Jones,
the chairman of the National Repub-
lican Committee, said last night: Il don't
expect that the National Republican Com
mittee will meet much before January. We
shall probably hold our meeting at Washing
ton. OF course we shall wait before coming
together for all the State elections to be over,
so that we can better survey the ground. As
to the place of meeting of the National Con-
vention, we have good many applications
from eligible cities. / have no preference.
have said that l think Philadelphia would
be found convenient, but that is about all
that have said about that city. As to a
Presidential candidate, it is too early to talk
about that. We are not discussing candi-
dates at present Mr.. Blaine is enjoying him
self In Europe and, Of course, takes an in
terest in the political affairs of his country,
although he is away from it. If there is as
widespread desire for his candidacy as
there was when he obtained his previous
nomination, of course he will be nominated
II he will give his consent / am sure at
present no one but himself knows whether
he would give that consent. Should Mr..
Cleveland be nominated / think it not un-
likely that Mr.. Blaine would be also. All
this, however, is mere conjecture. We shall
be able to Judge after the State elections of
the effect of the new elements in politics,
namely, the temperance and labor votes.
Both are important factors ana must, inev-
itably control the movements of both of the
TWO great parties"

An International Dollar.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 22.-An important
discussion has been opened in the columns
of the Mexican Financier, growing out of
suggestion for an international silver dollar
for both Mexico and the United States. A
majority of the correspondents favor the
plan as cetain to give Mexico a vast advan-
tage in making her coffee, tobacco and sugar
crops Immediately available for sale in the
United States, and adding at least SO per
cent. to the value of every silver mine here.
On the other hand American manufacturers
would control the trade of this country, be-
ing able to receive the international dollar in
payment for their wares. The scheme really
means the backing up of the Mexican dollar
by the credit of the United States, as is now
the case with the standard dollar there. and
it also means uniting the two countries in
the closest kind of commercial union. The
proposition is creating much comment, and
It is likely that the discussion will become
widespread here. Propositions for CONNER
cial union with the United States and Can
ada attract attention here, and in some
quarters this new movement is urged as a
reason for making a monetary treaty with
the United States that shall make Mexico
really as much part of the enormous in
dustrial system of the United States as are
any of the States of the American republic.
European influence here will be against this
scheme, but it is certain to get an impartial
hearing,

McNEALLY,s STEAL.
About Six Hundred Dollars of De-
posits Pocketed.


BIDDEFoRD, Sept 23.-Bank Examiner
Fred E. Richards completed his examination
into the condition and standing of the Saco
and Biddeford Savings Institution this after
noon.
The bank substantially has 1910 outstand
ing deposit books, all of which have been ex-
amined separately with the exception of 1900
in round numbers. These are held by de-
positors living at considerable distance
from here and in view of the fact that they
have not been presented at the bank for
some time it is not probable that an examin-
alton of them would materially change the
result that has already been arrived at. In
all the books that have been examined and
in the entire investigation of the bank Mr..
Richards has not found single irregularity
back of his last official examination, which
was made March 10th last.
During the examination just finished every
individual balance has been taken off an
added together and only discrepancy of
$210.55 was found between the balances
added and the account of deposit on the
general ledger. Such a discrepancy is not
unusual, as little errors are bound to creep
in in such work.
Mr.. Richards examination has revealed
the fact that Frank O. McNeally's pecula-
tions date from July 14th last, when he stole
$50 up to Aug. 10th, and the exact amount
taken by him at different times prior to his
big haul is $570. The smallest sum taken at
a time was So and the largest $3.50. AT no
time did he take an amount that could not
be divided by 3. By the examination it is
determined that the bank value of the bonds
and cash stolen by McNeally was SIS, 1869. .9S,
and the par value of the same $50, 500. The
surplus of the bank ON hand is $464, ,942.2 "a.
McNeally conducted his stealing undetec-
ted by pocketing the money handed in for
deposit, entering the amonnt upon the de-
positors' books but neglecting to make any
entry upon the books of the bank.

The falling Of the floor in Mr.. Geo. ii.
Raymond's grain mills Wednesday morning,
created considerable excitement. That part
Of the mill has been occupied for a number
OF years for storing large quantities Of grain
at this season Of the year. Mr.. Raymond
had some forty tons Of shorts, in bags, piled
up. Two men were at work at the time the
floor gave way, and went down with the
bags, some % feet into the basement. They
escaped without serious injury, but both
men were badly shaken up. Mr.. Raymond
had just come out of the basement when the
floor settled and went down with loud
crash, which startled people In the adjacent
buildings. The work OF raising the bags
and repairing the damage was accomplished
without delay. Mr.. Raymond is receiving
large quantities of grain, for grinding, from
Portland parties this fall.

hands and its many good points were ex..

Teddy, IS bright and clever, her dancing and

adept in specially business and is ably sup

Tim Murphy does some very neat work as
Gilly, and later as Bray, the politician. The
